Nerf Aliens Pulse Rifle Build

[Fly4v]

An alternative to the Creator's choices.

1.) Grind off with a hand file and cover with a small piece of PVC pipe.

2.) Same.

3.) Glue small bits of plastic on the inside, drill a hole for the 'bolt' then a shallow but wider hole for the head and sand the rounded contour.

Please post photos of your work.

Made it so when i insert mag the counter lights up to 95.
Only lights 95 doesn't count down :cry
still working on it so once its finished will post up pics.

Nice looking set up.
So everything is contained in your shroud and you just have contacts on your magazine?

 

[zipatronic]

yes, simple but effective. no on/off switch just insert mag and it lights up.

Flipping gorgeous!!! I would buy that!!!! M-41B!!!

Mine is nearly done just bit of filling and sanding and then paint of course to complete..

rear stock has the emblem sanded off, be careful as its very thin here, a bit of filler behind before sanding will help.

front "grenade" launcher trigger is made up of coat hanger wire.

i also filled in the grips as can be seen from pic and the barrel shroud was tweaked and has magnets in place to keep it help on.

quick question paint wise do i go with the "green" or "brown bess" versions?
i planned to paint it with "normal" paints not plastic specific so whats best to use? humbrol tamiya etc.

 

[zipatronic]

its done bar a coat of sealer and perhaps a bit of black to cover the gunmetal body.

looks awesome! funnily enough I was browsing this thread earlier today in prep for my own attempt and was wondering if there'd be any news...BAM! thanks and congrats on an awesome looking build.
One question?...what did you use for the cocking lever/bolt? looks cool.
P.

 

[zipatronic]

the cocking lever was part of an old x-acto style knife handle, the shaft part that goes into the handle that holds the blade mount.

could do with a lick of paint of course ( the part is aluminium btw )

 

[baron von blondle]

love it! something old, something new, something borrowed

 

[zipatronic]

oh i try to reuse everything if i can ,i did actually throw it away though to start with!
But i tend to keep everything and think that will come in handy some day lol.

btw its a cheapo handle from the £ shop knife set not x-acto so shouldnt be to hard to get hold of ( uk of course dont know about any other countries )

 

[baron von blondle]

yup I'm the same, box full of "bits" always comes in handy..my wife on the other hand disagrees

nice work! Love the look of the real deal round counter

Superb conversion - I'm still very tempted to do one of these myself - my all-time fave movie gun.

My ears still echo the distinctive sound these things made when fired!

I think the Nerf gun conversion looks better than the real deal!

 

[zipatronic]

nice work! Love the look of the real deal round counter

pity it doesnt count down though :cry

I'm not skilled enough to build as working counter from scratch and ive never come across a decent diagram for a working one.

 

[sween1911]

WOW!!!! That's a fine piece of work!

 

[zipatronic]

Going to have a go at redoing the gun with the shrouds in 2 halves like what the original ones on here are.
Got parts to make another 1. will also use the original recons stock and mod it to make it look more like original.

 

[baron von blondle]

keep us posted!

 

[zipatronic]

Will do, while were at it any 1 know where i can get an ammo counter that counts or a diagram to build 1 pls?
Other wise is a fixed 95 again :confused
